Precise disassembly of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel: Damascus steel (hardness 62 HRC)
The blade is made of Damascus steel with a hardness of 62 HRC — this is one of the highest indicators, which guarantees exceptional wear resistance and long-term retention of sharpness. The multi-layered damask structure gives the blade not only an expressive pattern, but also a unique combination of strength and flexibility. This blade perfectly retains its cutting properties even during intensive use.
However, it is worth considering: Damascus steel, despite its high hardness, requires basic care — after use, it is advisable to wipe the blade and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture in order to avoid corrosion, despite its general resistance.
Handle material: wenge and black hornbeam
The handle is made of two noble woods: wenge and black hornbeam. Wenge is known for its density and moisture resistance, resistant to mechanical influences and temperature fluctuations. The black hornbeam gives the structure additional strength, as well as an exquisite appearance and pleasant tactility. The ergonomics of the handle ensures a comfortable and secure grip even in wet and cold conditions, minimizing the risk of slipping in the hand.
Blade Shape: Normal Blade
The classic standard shape of the blade (Normal Blade) is universal: thanks to the straight line of the butt, the knife is perfect for most household tasks, tourism and hunting. This geometry provides cutting control, ease of piercing, and precision when working with different materials.
